Yeah, if you do like eSports it’s a very interesting champs with all those quality teams in losers

Watching CoD as an eSport is so boring. It’s just people jumping around with their aim-assisted BAL’s thinking they are good. How about playing proper games like Battlefield 4 and CSGO where teamwork and precision are crucial. I suppose it just appeals to kids these days just like the games themselves.

People who are interested in different movement in next CoD check this out:

If this is true … I will cry, honestly :-/ …. I know he got stuff right before, but I don’t trust him as much as u n guywithbrains does … If he is correct about that he will gain my support … I pray to juses he’s wrong tho

LovekillerX

Well he was asked if he has some friends working in Treyarch studios and he answered “something like that.” But we can’t be sure and everything is just a rumor. But honestly I trust Shinobi because he has got many things right before. I don’t believe that earlier statements have been just guessing with big luck.

ScOott

Imo he just knows how to word stuff.. But to say it’s going to be similar to Titanfall is a pretty bold statement, none of that vivid talk… for that to be true for me that means sideways wall running and being able to jump really high with some kind of tech …

LovekillerX

To be honest I would like to see “boots on ground” movement. Exo suits are enough for me in every third year. But I don’t mind if next CoD’s movement will be similar to Titanfall. For others it may sound pretty stupid and I guess that majority wants “boots on ground” movement to return.

If this is the case we will propably see “boots on ground” movement to return in IW’s CoD.

ScOott

I think for most that would be the only way that they would buy an iw game so would make good business sense … after ghosts they would need all the help they can get … But will have to wait n see if the leak is true 😮

Hopefully your right … Plot twist the development team considered the worst, could possibly end up being the best 😮

Smayo

Not going to change a damn thing, no matter how many high profile game developers they attract as long activision keeps pushing the e-sports agenda CoD will decline year after year for us casual players

Guywithbrains

I see my name! I am a celebrity!

Lol joking… but seriously I miss boots on the ground movement because it is really hard to get 30 killstreak in AW. Also classic movement would bring back a part of that “feel” from original Modern Warfare series.

However, I also like exos but I don’t want them to become part of the gameplay in every title. This is leading to the sad fact that only Ghosts 2 will have classic movement IF this is true.

ScOott

Lol … With SBMM you wouldn’t/shouldn’t be able to get them 30 plus kills no matter if it was boots on ground movement or not … But yh if it’s true I think they will lose ALOT of preorders and purchases … I always hated the people complaing about cod needs to change, I hate them even more now

RdJokr

Man, I was kinda hoping Activision would just ditch old gen already. No offense to old gen guys, but let’s be real: would you REALLY want another old gen COD game after the mess that was AW? It’s a miracle that game even managed to run on old gen, let alone at 60 FPS.

But whatever, as long as I get my optimized PC game, I ain’t gonna complain.

LovekillerX

Yeah I see people who want to see maxed out next gen version of Call of Duty. We already saw what AW could do and it was also on old gen. Imagine next gen only Call of Duty.

But I still understand that old gen is being supported. There are still so many players who don’t own next gen console. For me it is too early to let old gen go. But maybe in couple of years?

I think treyarch’s call of duty this year should be the last cod on old gen.
